A Ti-rich oxide, (Ti0.50Zr0.26Mg0.14Cr0.10) 1⁄4 1.0O1.81, was synthesized at 8.8GPa and 1600 1C using a multi-anvil apparatus. Its crystal structure at ambient conditions and compressibility up to 10.58GPa were determined with single-crystal X-ray diffraction. This high-pressure phase is isomorphous with cubic zirconia (fluorite-type) with space group Fm3̄m and unit-cell parameters a 1⁄4 4.8830(...

Creating coordinated multiagent policies in an environment with uncertainties is a challenging issue in the research of multiagent learning. In this paper, a coordinated learning approach is proposed to enable agents to learn both individual policies and coordinated behaviors by exploiting independent relationships inherent in many multiagent systems. We illustrate how this approach is employed...

A useful semiclassical method to calculate eigenfunctions of the Schrödinger equation is the mapping to a well-known ordinary differential equation, as for example Airy’s equation. In this paper we generalize the mapping procedure to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation or Gross-Pitaevskii equation describing the macroscopic wave function of a Bose-Einstein condensate. The nonlinear Schrödinger e...

The problem of scheduling a set of tasks to a set of processors can be divided into two categories: job scheduling and scheduling and mapping. In the former category, independent jobs are to be scheduled among the processors of a distributed computing system to optimize overall system performance [1][2]. In contrast, the scheduling and mapping problem requires the allocation of multiple interac...
